AZoM spoke to Dr. Vibha Kalra, George B. Francis Chair Professor and the Director of the Ph.D. Program in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Drexel University, about her research that has made a breakthrough for the use of lithium-sulfur batteries.
Researchers at Drexel University have stabilized a rare monoclinic γ-sulfur phase within carbon nanofibers that enables successful operation of Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries in carbonate electrolyte for 4000 cycles. AN open-access paper on their work is published in Communications Chemistry. Carbonates are known to adversely react with the intermediate polysulfides and.
As Tesla with its Model Y and Model 3 grows in popularity around the world, along with many other EV brands, scientists see great potential in lithium-sulfur batteries as a greener source of power, which can by the way triple current capacities.
